Wenger confident Ozil is happy at Arsenal

The attacking midfielder scored five goals and contributed nine assists in 32 Arsenal appearances last term as the Gunners qualified for the Champions League for the 18th year in succession and retained the FA Cup.

And Wenger believes rumours about Ozil being unhappy at Arsenal are not true.

“Look, I never spoke to him on that front or on a football front as well,” Wenger said ahead of Arsenal’s participation in the Barclays Asia Trophy.

“But the suggestions are created always by people who – I don’t know, want to create news, but there is nothing concrete in that.

“He’s an important player for our team and he’s a player of course we count on to continue our development and our success.”
